I made good brussels ONCE. I have the recipe and tried to do it many times, never could make them good again, always too bitter. I know it’s possible but I’ll wait a decade for stars to align again.
Brussel sprouts literally have become less bitter over the last few decades, but depending on where you get yours they might still be using older variants. Maybe try a different source?
I literally just clean mine, cut them in half & remove stems, toss them with olive oil & salt & pepper, then roast them cut-side down. Perfect every time.
I’m personally annoyed that I can’t find the bitter ones where I am. I used to pick and east the ones my mother grew in her garden raw. All of the ones I can find now don’t have the right flavour.
How much parmesan did you grate over the brussel sprouts after they came out of the oven? Whatever amount it was, you didn’t do enough. Also if you forgot lemon zest, add some too.
Had both. So many people here have recommended different Brussels sprout recioes that I want comment on this. But steamed or boiled broccoli just sucks compared to seared or roasted.
This list reads like someone who’s never been served roasted brussel sprouts or steamed broccoli.
ugh, why would you ruin a perfectly nice broccoli? why go with mushy when you can choose crispy?
You know you can steam em without turning em to mush right?
fair enough, it may be bad experiences talking
Anything, absolutely anything that is edible, can be coaxed into something at least vaguely palatable with enough skill, fat, and spices.

Hu, we always complain Brussel sprouts aren’t bitter enough anymore.

Roasted broccoli squad checking in. This guy’s is missing out.
Actually most vegetables. Roast them in the oven with a tiny bit of oil, salt, and pepper. They always come out delicious.
